What is Co-op?
Cooperative education (co-op) courses allow high school students to earn credits by completing a work placement in the community along with classroom learning. Students will develop skills, knowledge, and habits of mind that will support them in their learning, including their education and career/life planning, at school and beyond, today and in the future.
Why Take Co-op?
- Experience hands-on learning.
- Learn skills and habits required in the workplace.
- Gain experience in a field of your choice.
- Make connections and obtain references.
- Develop your resume.
- Make informed decisions about your post-secondary pathway.
How Does it Work?
Earn 2 or 4 credits (morning, afternoon or full day) which count as 2 of your compulsory courses and/or any of your optional credits.
Note: A cooperative education course linked to a related course or courses does not have its own course code. It is recorded on the Provincial Report Card and the Ontario Student Transcript (OST) using the name(s) and course code(s) of the related course(s), with the term “(Co-op)” inserted after the course name. On the OST, the notation “C” is entered in the “Note” column.
